RE: Sewer Rates

The sewer rates by-law is in the agenda for tonight's meeting for consideration.

If you will refer to the charges for residential users you will note that we

have maintained a differential between residential properties where the sewer :
was installed by a developer. These charges show $6.00 per month and $4.50 i
per month respectively. These rates should probably have been set at $6.00

and $4.00 in view of the fact that the increase reflected in this by-law have
been applied more heavily on a subdivider installed main, for example, a
residential rate has increased by 20% whereas the rate for a subdivider installed
main has increased by 50% ($3.00 per month to $4.50 per month). :

I believe it was the intention of Council In Committee to apply $1.00 per month
on each of these categories of properties and Council may wish to revise the
rate for a subdivider installed main to $4.00 per month rather than the $4.50
shown in the by-law.
